Unexpectedly, Nigerian journalist Francess Olisa Ogbonnaya has accused Sandra Duru, a Nigerian businesswoman based in the UK who goes by Prof.
Mgbeke, of being involved in the ongoing controversy involving Senate President Godswill Akpabio and Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan of Kogi Central.
Duru gained notoriety recently when she said that she was allegedly offered N200 million by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan to falsely accuse the former governor of Akwa Ibom of organ harvesting.
The accusation has caused conflicting responses even though Senator Natasha has since denied it. However, a female journalist named Francess Ogbonnaya claimed in a now-viral video that Sandra had tried to hire her to create a voiceover that would harm Senator Natasha’s reputation.
According to Olisa, Sandra gave her a script and audio recordings that were allegedly defamatory. However, citing her plans to run for office and her work as a journalist, she declined to produce the voiceover.
“Instead of being impartial, she wanted me to go to the TV station on her behalf and ruin Natasha. I declined since I am a journalist and I intend to run for office again, as I have done in the past,” Olisa stated.
Olisa questioned Sandra’s claims that she intended to use the voiceover to disseminate misleading information about Senator Natasha, including that she intended to overthrow the Yoruba government.
“How can a minority Kogi, Igbira, who have no allies and are even biassed towards the Yorubas, say that now? What will a Kogi person stand to gain by opposing the Yoruba government, given that she is a minority in Nigeria? Olisa asked.
Sandra Duru’s allegations regarding Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s remarks regarding sexual harassment were refuted by Ogbonnaya. Sandra lied about the alleged sexual harassment.
Ogbonnaya clarified, “Senator Natasha never mentioned there was no sexual harassment in the audios she sent me.” She claims that the audio recordings did, in fact, imply experiences of sexual harassment.
“On occasion, when they go out, the big man will say, ‘You look good today,'” she added in the audio. Ogbonnaya also questioned whether Sandra Duru’s possible audio release was genuine. Sandra cloned it if she releases anything similar.
There was nothing similar to that (denial of sexual harassment claim) in the original audios she sent me. According to Ogbonnaya, “the woman (Natasha) never claimed that there was no s*xual abuse; in fact, she was highlighting experiences that suggest s*xual harassment.
” Regarding Senator Natasha’s claim that she bought Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, Ogbonnaya refuted the claim. According to Ogbonnaya, the audio recordings showed Senator Natasha talking about her efforts to address issues affecting women and giving thanks to God for Dr. Ezekwesili’s support. Additionally, according to Olisa, Sandra has engaged in manipulation and blackmailing of other people, including Governor Hope Uzodinma and his predecessor, Rochas Okorocha.
“Sandra even informed me that Rochas was appointed governor! The man was being blackmailed by her. Olisa claimed that she used the commissioner for international affairs to blackmail Hope, the governor of Imo. Olisa responded, “Yes!” when asked if Sandra paid her.
She charged 300k for political audio, which is 500k! I eliminated any locations that might implicate us. When I exposed her lies, she became irate. She went to someone else after rejecting the audio and refusing to use my voice.
However, Olisa said, “Let the police do their job,” and urged them to look into the situation. Additionally, she cautioned Senator Akpabio about Sandra’s dubious personality.
“I’m warning Akpabio to be cautious around her. I am unable to determine whether she is collaborating with Akpabio or Natasha.
The person I know is Sandra. “The proof I’ve just forwarded to you is just the beginning. I’m prepared if she wants us to start talking. particularly the well-known names she listed there. “Remind her of that,” she said.
